These 5 beloved TV shows were abruptly cancelled, and fans are still reeling
There are some popular TV shows on your favorite streaming platforms that got cancelled over the years. While some vanished without a warning, some of them entirely had it coming with reasons like poor ratings, controversies and whatnot. There are some shows that viewers begin getting hooked on to, and then they end up getting cancelled all of a sudden. Here we list some of the top TV shows that saw a sudden or a validated cancellation.
Firefly, the brainchild of Joss Whedon, failed to pull in adequate viewership ratings, ending up getting cancelled. It saw an airing of just 11 episodes after its release in September 2002. It was discontinued by December 20, 2002. Firefly is available to watch on Hulu, Amazon Video and Apple TV.
Then comes NCIS Hawai'i, that had already started becoming popular among fans of the investigative world. However, CBS later decided to cancel the show after 3 seasons, suggesting that costs and ratings were not justifiable. NCIS: Hawaiʻi was cancelled by CBS on April 26, 2024. It concluded with a two-part season finale on April 29th and May 6th, 2024. If you haven't watched this popular show, you can stream it on Amazon Video, Paramount+ or Apple TV.
Terriers, an FX show from 2010, lasted just one single season after which it did not see the light of day. According to then FX President John Landgraf, the show pulled in inadequate ratings. The show's poor marketing campaign too had a contribution in its cancellation. The show was canceled by the showmakers on December 6, 2010, after the first season. There were some serious talks about its revival, but no confirmations have been received on it yet. One can stream Terriers on Hulu, Amazon Video and Apple TV.
House of Cards remains one of the most popular shows surrounding the US political landscape. However, it faced the axe after sexual misconduct allegations against its main cast Kevin Spacey (who plays Frank Underwood) emerged. It was only a matter of a single season without him in focus that Netflix decided to pull the plug in Octover, 2017. The show's final season premiered in November, 2018, with the character, Claire Underwood, in focus. House of Cards' seasons can be streamed on Netflix, Amazon Video, and Apple TV.
Clone High's initial cancellation by MTV in mid-2003 was mostly due to its poor ratings. But, in addition to that, the show's portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi drew in a lot of backlash from viewers. Later the show was resumed after the removal of Mahatma Gandhi as a character of the show.
It then saw a revival by Max in February 2024, but was cancelled after two seasons. The second cancellation announcement came in on July 20, 2024. Clone High's episodes can be watched on Amazon Video, Apple TV and Google Play.

"There's a lot of actors I would love to work with, and some specifically who I think, you know, their personas are funny to explore.

The 43-year-old actor noted some audiences know Diesel mostly for his "Fast & Furious" character, Dominic Toretto. "For most of the people's lifetime who are in their 20s now, he's only ever been Dominic Toretto, ever. So to see him outside of Dominic Toretto to me, would be very exciting," he added. Host of the show, Jimmy Kimmel, jokingly added that Diesel is the regular viewer of the show, following which, Rogen decided to pitch the project to the actor through the episode. "I assume you're watching this as you do every night. I assume you're watching it while driving like a 65 Pontiac. If you would please consider, maybe we can organize a Zoom — and I'll capture your baldness on a hard drive," he said.

Jennifer Aniston shares surprising career goal, one character she wants to revisit
Washington [US], June 22 (ANI): After nearly four decades in Hollywood, Jennifer Aniston is not slowing down. The 56-year-old actress recently revealed that despite her extensive career, she still hopes to achieve one major goal, making her Broadway debut. In an interview with People magazine, the 'Friends' star shared, "I definitely want to do a Broadway play. That's on my bucket list." The actress, who has garnered numerous accolades including an Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG Award, elaborated on the challenge: "It's finding the time and the right material, but I absolutely have to do a play on Broadway." For Aniston, who grew up surrounded by the world of entertainment, her father, John Aniston, was an actor, and her mother, Nancy Dow, was also involved in the industry, the aspiration to perform on the stage has been long-standing. She recalled her early experiences, which included performing in Off-Broadway productions before her big break in Hollywood. Despite her massive success on the small and big screens, with iconic roles in shows like 'Friends' and films such as 'Marley & Me' and 'We're the Millers', Aniston is eager to step outside her comfort zone. "The idea of performing in front of a live audience is something I've always wanted to experience," she said, as quoted by People magazine. The actress' latest project is 'The Morning Show', an Apple TV plus series where she stars alongside Reese Witherspoon and Billy Crudup. As a producer on the show, Aniston is also gearing up for the release of its fourth season, scheduled for later this year. In addition to her role on 'The Morning Show', Aniston has several upcoming projects, including the films 'Hail Mary' and a currently untitled project directed by Sophie Goodhart. Looking back at her extensive career, Aniston also expressed interest in revisiting a fan-favourite role. The actress revealed that she would be open to reprising her role in the 'Horrible Bosses' films. The 2011 comedy and its 2014 sequel featured Aniston as the flirtatious dentist, Dr Julia Harris. "I was just talking about this the other day," Aniston said, referring to a recent conversation with co-stars Jason Bateman and Charlie Day. "We all think it would be super fun to revisit those characters. The characters are hilarious, and we need comedy," she said, adding, "I personally think comedy is a necessity, and I think it would be so much fun to see where those crazy cats are today." Fans of the 'Horrible Bosses' franchise have long speculated about a potential third instalment, and with Aniston's enthusiasm about the idea, it seems there may still be hope for the beloved comedic trio's return. Meanwhile, Aniston is awaiting the release of 'The Morning Show' season 4, which is set to debut on Apple TV plus on September 17. (ANI)
